OpheliaShakespeare and Gender in Contemporary Spain
It is astonishing how deeply the figure of Ophelia has been woven into the fabric of Spanish literature and the visual arts – from her first appearance in eighteenth-century translations of Hamlet, through depictions by seminal authors such as Espronceda, Bécquer and Lorca, to turn-of-the millennium figurations. This provocative, gendered figure has become what both male and female artists n…

This Woman in ParticularContexts for the Biographical Image of Emily Carr
What happens when an individual becomes the subject of many and divergent portraits? "Biography," says Stephanie Kirkwood Walker, "is a deceptive genre. Positioned between fact and fiction and elusive in its purposes, biography displays an individual life, an existence patterned by conventions that have also shaped the reader's experience." In This Woman in Particular, Walker explores versions…
